Same as Morbius

Denis "Lisan al-Gaib" Muad'Dib will save us all. Exhibitors just need to grit their teeth for a couple more weeks!

After how lukewarm Marvel's output has been these past couple of years, everyone has every right to be skeptical. And Pedro Pascal, while beloved, is a pretty unconventional choice for a character like Reed Richards.

I will say, them announcing this cast now and not at Comic-Con is a likely indication they'll be sitting this year out too. Because let's face it, this is the only trump card they had for that, and they chose to play it now. If they still go this year, then all they'll have to show are Disney+ fodder.

That actually is a detriment to this movie, as Black Widow was not exactly a crowdpleaser. There's obviously the matter of Thunderbolts not being a known property and Marvel no longer having the goodwill to prop such properties up. They're actually taking a big risk here by still going full steam ahead with this movie, even going as far as moving the release up. There's something to be said for that.

IT LOOKS FUCKING AMAZIIIIIIIING DAY ZERO

Never forget what they took from us: NEVER FORGET.

Jurassic isn't making that date, and we all know it. Also, while Fantastic Four isn't an S-tier property, it definitely stands a hell of a lot more of a chance against Superman's third weekend than Thunderbolts ever could.

I feel like they're too far along now to pull the plug, and/or are proud of what they have now after the creative overhaul last year. We'll just have to wait and see at this point.

Pedro sounds odd as Reed on paper, but he has the talent to make it work. I have no issues with the rest. Changing places with Thunderbolts is also a good idea, as that one would've been destroyed by Superman.

How big of a role do the Parkers have here? The original rumours were claiming they were key factors to the storyline, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore from what I've read.

One Love isn't exactly getting raves either. I feel like in that situation couples would be more likely to do something else, or just do a movie night at home with something good. There's no shortage of entertainment today.

He hasn't changed one bit from the last Transformers press circuit. He was responsible for a lot of incomprehensible statements back then, muddying the waters regarding its continuity. Rise of the Beasts would have been so much better without his meddling. Hopefully he gets blocked in some way if we get another live action movie.

You said it yourself. She is a television veteran, but this is the first feature film she ever directed. The sad part is, she tried to get in before by joining Star Trek 4 back in 2018, but that got shelved after pay disputes with the stars. I'll always wonder if this movie would've been better had Clarkson actually gotten to make Star Trek 4, and therefore score some serious experience in film.

Judging by all the review scores it's scarily possible that this is how the final movie is going to be like.

I mean, as infamous of a flop as it is now, greenlighting that one made sense at the time. Captain Marvel was a billion dollar hit, and Marvel was still on top of the world and hadn't hit the slump they're currently in, so why not make another? Madame Web should never have gotten her own movie, and it would've flopped in any era as long as it was the Sony suits in charge.

Well, I'm getting plenty of laughs from these reviews, so I'll take the former.

Also, this fan-driven superhero piece is starting off at 23%. And scores for these usually go down as more reviews are published. I'll leave you all to be the judge of that.

WHAT THE FUCK?! Someone needs to screenshot that!

Wait, are reviews live now?

What the FUCK do you mean it isn't in the final movie?! No wonder why the reactions have been so bad. #ReleaseTheClarksonCut NOW!!!!!!

A big problem they'll face in the years to come is that this whole franchise was built on smoke and mirrors. They prominently use the Marvel logo in all the promotional material to deceive people into thinking they're in league with the MCU as well. The thing is, that tactic relied single-handedly on the overall strength of the Marvel brand, and that brand value has nosedived starting with Multiverse of Madness. So now instead of a golden goose they're hitching themselves a ride to damaged goods, which will turn off a lot of people. What makes this even worse is that these movies are all spinoffs of Spider-Man, a character who is still big and can be without needing any help from the larger Marvel universe. Unless they pull another stunt like in 2019 and take Spidey back, I wouldn't be surprised if Venom 3 is the last of these.
